ASEM Aquaculture Platform (ASEM-Aquaculture09)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
This proposal builds on the outputs of the ASEM Aquaculture Platform, established in 2003 as an EU-Asia framework for dialogue, networking and continuing coordination for sustainable aquaculture development. From 2003-2006, 6 expert workshops targeted key topics (Disease & Health management, Biodiversity & Ecological impacts, Breeding & Domestication, Education, Food safety & Legislation, Food sec ...

IMPLEMENTATION OF NATURAL SPAWNING FOR MARINE FISH SPECIES IN CULTURE - IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF OFF-SPRING AND ANIMAL WELFARE (PROSPAWN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
In general, marine fish species have a very short period (a “quality window” of few hours) when ovulated eggs are of outstanding quality and when fertilization results in high quality embryos and juveniles. Environmental conditions and broodstock tank construction should therefore be conducive to the occurrence of natural spawning, ensuring the collection of embryos of the highest possible quality ...

Hunting for Sustainability (HUNT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
Biodiversity conservation increasingly takes place outside protected areas in multiple-use landscapes. Success in achieving biodiversity objectives is closely linked to the extent to which conservation can be integrated with the cultural, social and economic objectives and aspirations of people. Beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and preferences about biodiversity are central to the decisions made by ...

Feasibility study of triploid salmon production (SALMOTRIP)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"With the rapid growth of aquaculture seen in recent years, one major fundamental problem has arisen being the environmental pollution due to increased numbers of escapee fish interacting with wild populations. A greater public awareness, the need to protect natural resources and increase the food safety requires the development and implementation of new environmental regulations. There is therefo ...

"Investigating fatty acid metabolism for sustainable farming of cobia Rachycentron canadum L., a promising candidate for diversifying European aquaculture" (COBIAGENE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2011,
"Fish are the major dietary source for humans of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) with important roles in human health. With declining fisheries, farmed fish constitute an increasing proportion of the fish in the food basket. n-3 HUFA in farmed fish has been obtained using fish oils (FO), derived from feed grade marine fisheries, in the feeds. This practice is not sustainable, and will co ...

Fish intestinal nutrigenomics in response to fish oil replacement in Atlantic salmon diets (FISHINUTRIGEN)
Start date: Jul 10, 2008, End date: Jul 9, 2010,
"There is an urgent need to replace fish oil (FO) and meal in aquaculture diets with sustainable alternatives, vegetable oils (VO) being the primary candidates. However, growth of fish on VO results in lower levels of n-3HUFA in their flesh, compromising their nutritional value to the human consumer. There is therefore a pressing need to identify strains of fish with reduced requirements for pre-f ...
